Chapter 32: Daily Earnings Exceed 100,000!

Chu Lin drove out of the Flower Court Community and headed straight back to the farm. He had already adjusted his state of mind, though he had to admit, Li Qian did stir a faint feeling in his heart.

He hadn’t gone far when he heard the chime of a WeChat message. He guessed it was probably Li Qian. Opening it, his suspicion was confirmed—a message from her: “If you ever break up with your girlfriend, what would you do?”

Seeing this, Chu Lin laughed. Was there even a need to think? His reply was ready and waiting: “Then you’ll be my girlfriend!” After all, such promises were easy to make—he alone decided whether he had a girlfriend or not.

He sent the message, his smile widening. The deal was sealed. Sure enough, moments later, Li Qian accepted the transfer of 52,000. Then she sent another message: “Are you coming over tonight? I’ll cook something delicious for you!”

“Ok!” Chu Lin replied with a grin, adding a mischievous emoji. Since the girl had accepted his proposal, he was more than happy to fulfill her considerate requests.

After sending the message, he floored the accelerator, the car surging forward as swiftly as his mood brightened.

“Money really is a wonderful thing!” he mused. Li Qian’s bold moves would have failed without the confidence money gave him. Truly, wealth was a blessing.

Yet he knew that the three million in his account, while substantial for an ordinary person, was nothing to the truly wealthy. He needed more—much more.

Inside Flower Court Garden.

Li Qian blushed, running her hand over her cheek as she read Chu Lin’s reply. Having received the 52,000, she naturally invited him over for the night. The thought made her feel a bit embarrassed.

But she recalled Chu Lin’s promise—if he broke up with his girlfriend, she would be his girlfriend. Her cousin was right: fair competition. If Chu Lin got married, she would bow out.

Still, she had no experience in such matters. With this in mind, she took out her phone and searched online: “How to steal someone’s boyfriend!”

Clearly, she didn’t realize she was wrestling with thin air.

Elsewhere.

Chu Lin had just entered the suburbs when his phone rang. Seeing Cai Yao’s number, he answered immediately. She was surely calling about the oysters.

As expected, Cai Yao said, “Mr. Chu, I’ll take all your oysters. Just as you said, 200 yuan each. When shall we sign the contract?”

“I’ll arrange things first, then come to Zhizhen to sign,” he replied.

“Great, I’ll wait for you,” she said.

Back at the farm, Chu Lin immediately entered the game, moved the freshly spawned giant prawns out, and placed them on the shipping platform.

He noticed the seafood boxes for packing prawns were almost used up—he’d need to order more soon. After handling the prawns, he checked the oysters in the game.

The oysters had spawned in four waves, more than 150 each time, now totaling over 600. At 200 each, that was over 120,000. With two waves spawning daily, about 300 oysters, that meant more than 60,000 a day. With oysters and giant prawns combined, his daily income was breaking 100,000.

This realization filled him with vigor. He hurried out to find a large basket and entered the game to load oysters.

Each oyster was the size of a king oyster, nearly a pound apiece, and the 30-pound seafood boxes couldn’t hold many. It made more sense to use a large basket and dump them together outside.

He scooped the oysters into the basket by handfuls. As he was about to fill it, he noticed one oyster’s notes were different. Frowning, he focused and was stunned by the description.

[Atlantis Oyster: Quality 2!]
[Note: This oyster is produced on the Atlantis map. Not only does it grow quickly and taste better than ordinary oysters, it also has unique effects not found in common oysters:
Size +1, Texture +1, Freshness +1, Kidney-filling +2!]

“Quality 2?” Chu Lin was amazed. He knew that as the Atlantis map upgraded, the animals spawned could sometimes be of higher quality. But in the game, quality 2 animals were rare on the level 2 Atlantis map.

Now he had found one—and the +2 attribute was in kidney-filling. With +1, the oyster already had a remarkable invigorating effect, comparable to a little blue pill. What would +2 be like? Would it turn him into a bulldozer?

He was itching to try it. Since he’d agreed to spend the night at Li Qian’s, he’d let her test the power of this quality 2 Atlantis oyster.

Chu Lin searched through the other oysters, but unfortunately, out of more than 600, only this one was quality 2.

Thus, after moving all the oysters out of the game, he carefully set aside the quality 2 one.

Liu Fa arrived on time. When he went to the shipping platform to collect the giant prawns, he saw the oysters and exclaimed, “Mr. Chu, oysters today too?”

“Mm.” Chu Lin nodded. “These oysters are a special variety, different price. Remind the warehouse staff at Zhizhen when you deliver.”

“Understood, Mr. Chu. I’ll get to work,” Liu Fa replied, beginning to load the goods.

Chu Lin got into his Panamera, ready to go sign the oyster contract with the young lady at Zhizhen.

Soon, Chu Lin arrived at Zhizhen and met Cai Yao. She wore her usual professional attire: a blue-and-white blouse and a fitted skirt, accentuating her figure. Today, her air bangs softened her look, adding a touch of brightness.

“Mr. Chu, I’ve been waiting for you,” Cai Yao greeted him warmly, rising to welcome him. As he sat, she asked sweetly, “Mr. Chu, could I ask you for a favor?”

“Please, Miss Cai,” Chu Lin smiled.

“Well, I’d like these oysters to be supplied exclusively to Zhizhen,” she said, her clear eyes filled with hope. She knew how valuable they were to Zhizhen.

“That’s no problem. But these oysters are hard to cultivate, not many—only about 300 a day,” Chu Lin replied with a smile.

Since the quantity was limited, letting Zhizhen buy them all saved him trouble. Besides, their previous cooperation had been pleasant.

Cai Yao beamed with joy at his agreement. “Mr. Chu, it’s a pleasure doing business with you. I’ll have the contract prepared right away.”

Chu Lin reminded her, “By the way, I had the delivery driver bring a batch of oysters to your warehouse this morning—over 600. Make sure your staff don’t mix them up.”

Hearing this, Cai Yao immediately took out her phone to arrange things.

Their warehouse received many oysters daily from suppliers, including king oysters. If mixed up, it would be a headache.

Liu Fa was familiar with the Zhizhen warehouse; he delivered prawns there every day, and the staff recognized his license plate.

An employee weighing goods for another supplier saw Liu Fa’s car and said, “Mr. Lin, please wait a moment.”

He went to meet Liu Fa’s car. The management had given special instructions about Chu Lin’s prawns—they knew how popular they were at Zhizhen.

Mr. Lin, the supplier, was displeased. He was personally delivering goods today, yet they were prioritizing another supplier.

The warehouse employee led Liu Fa to the usual spot. “Mr. Liu, same place as always, over here.”

“Alright.” Liu Fa parked and said, “There are oysters today too, remember to register them.”

The staff began unloading prawns, immediately sending them out for distribution. But when they unloaded the oysters, they weren’t sure what to do—no instructions yet.

“These are king oysters.” Mr. Lin strolled over, smiling at Liu Fa. “I supply oysters to Zhizhen too. I brought plenty of king oysters today. You don’t have many; even at ten yuan apiece, it’s not much.”

He felt slighted and wanted to assert himself.

Just then, the warehouse manager hurried over with a group, carrying a premium box. Seeing Liu Fa’s oysters, he said, “Quick, pack all these oysters supplied by Mr. Chu. These are 200 yuan each—don’t mix them with the regular oysters.”

“200 yuan each?” Mr. Lin’s eyes widened in disbelief. What kind of oysters were worth 200 apiece?

He looked at his own oysters’ price and suddenly felt the air turn sour.

No, he had to raise his prices.

He called Zhizhen’s young lady directly. Once connected, he said urgently, “Ms. Cai, this is Lin Xianhong, supplier of oysters to Zhizhen. Business has been good lately. I’d like to discuss raising the price of oysters.”

“Mm, you needn’t deliver tomorrow,” Cai Yao replied calmly, then hung up.

“???” Mr. Lin was dumbstruck.

It dawned on him—his jealousy had led him to do something foolish.

Meanwhile.

Cai Yao hung up angrily. Did he even know what kind of oysters he had, to ask for a price increase? She had strict quality requirements and already paid above market rates. Absurd.

She had no patience for such nonsense. Since Zhizhen’s performance had improved recently, there were plenty of suppliers eager to work with them.

Of course, if Mr. Chu wanted to raise his price, she’d play the soft card.

Chu Lin had finished signing the oyster supply contract with Miss Cai. Seeing her unsettled after taking a call, he didn’t linger, but took his leave.

Soon after, his bank received Zhizhen’s payment notification:

“Your account ending in…, credited with 166,257.00 yuan, balance 3,117,788.55 yuan!”

Looking at the payment for over 720 pounds of giant prawns and 600 oysters, Chu Lin’s smile widened.

This time, he earned 166,000 directly.

From now on, the Atlantis map would refresh two waves of giant prawns and oysters each day, with daily income over 100,000.

But how should one live a life earning 100,000 a day?

He had no experience at all!
